Greetings

I've been lurking for a while now and figure it's high time I said hello.
I'm Deirdre, bewildered and delighted mom to Joshua, all of 4 weeks old. He
is our first (and likely only) child, and while we've certainly done our
homework, DH and I are about as clueless as can be about babies and
parenting.
As such, from time to time I anticipate needing to draw upon the collective
wisdom here, and promise to keep my sleep-deprived, smart-a$$ comments to a
minimum. ~
Thanks for your comments and insight thus far, and never doubt that there
are folks in the dark corners of the peanut gallery that are grateful for
your presence here.

--------------
Thanks, Chookie. Likewise
We're in northeastern Pennsylvania, in the Pocono mountains. Been here about a year, and still getting used to the cold winters. The year before, we were lucky enough to live in England for about a year, but otherwise spent the bulk of our lives in southern California. Now that DS is here, we're doubly glad to be out of the sprawling metropolis of Los Angeles (yuk). Seeing so many of you in Australia makes me long for a visit. It's summer for you now, yes?

Welcome, Deirdre. I'm sure you're not as clueless as you think you are. After
all, you found your way here! :-)

With a vengeance! Drought in some places, floods in others, and big storms in
others!
